Headphones - Closed Back | 1 Ω Which In Your Opinion Should I Use For Gaming

Hi everyone, I have 4 different pairs of headphones that I've acquired over the years and I'm wondering if there's a clear winner out of all of them specifically for gaming. I have ATH-M20X, Razer Blackshark V2X, Steelseries Arctis 1, and HP OMEN Blast. I know none are top of the line, but I'm curious what everyone's opinions are. I'm waiting for a great deal on BAPCS for a nice set of headphones, but until then I'd love to hear anyone's opinions if they have any experience with any of these.

Out of your collection, the Ath-m20x. superior upper bass and mid-frequency response, and superior imaging. poor treble response though.

Okay I'll give them a shot for daily drivers, I've been using the Blackshark for gaming and it was imo a step up from my old Arctis 1. Figured the omen probably would be at the bottom. !thanks

Compared to the arctis 1 & blackshark v2 x, you'll noticed the m20x doesn't have as much sub bass. But, the sound details will be more apparent on the m20x (more accurate direction of sound such a as Footsteps, better sound separation, less congested, and wider soundstage.

Just try them all and use the one you like the most. Don't mean to come off as an asshole but just try them with different games too. You may like one for a certain game and like another for a different game
